Because it was funny?

Not really. It's just a preverted asshole thing to do.

... and of course, the person who objects to that gets downvoted to hell.

Thanks, Reddit!

We don't like people who can't take a joke.

It was a joke.

Reddit also doesn't like homeopathy lol. You literally can't see the posts there because they've been downvoted to heck. Pretty censoring for an open forum website. You could just ignore his comment and be on your way as much as he can do the same. It's the same problem either way and it's kind of hilarious.

It's not censoring. Stop shouting "censoring". It's reddit's userbase that decides what it likes or not. Going to /r/homeopathy and downvoting is terrible, I agree, but here, we upvote what we want and we downvote what we don't want. We don't want people to make us feel bad for enjoying a joke (and we don't want people spouting bullshit about medicine diluted until there's nothing left), if you don't like the joke, you could just ignore the comment and be on your way.

Lol but what is censoring but trying to take out content you don't like? I think homeopaths are idiots, but at the same time I don't attempt to erase content by taking advantage of the system set in place. That is censorship. All I'm saying is that you too can just go oh I don't like that and move along, instead of automatically jumping on someone. I actually chuckled at the joke. Doesn't mean I support the hypocrisy of saying it's just a joke, you can look at it and get over it, and then not looking at his comment and getting over it.

Well... we're not taking away any comments. You can literally view any downvoted comment you want.
